Greg Murphy from Arizona

Hi,
I am Greg Murphy from Minnesota but now retired to Arizona.
My first digital camera was the Olympus C-8080. My next camera was the Olympus E-30 dslr. Then I bought the OMD EM-1 in 2013. I just received my OMD EM1 Mark III this week.
Twenty years ago, when it looked possible that I might survive a terminal cancer diagnosis I looked for a way to supplement my disability annuity. I have grown different varieties of Sunflowers for 45 years. I entered a few sunflowers pictures in a local contest with great success. So... for 14 years I juried into Art Fairs around the upper midwest. 10-20 weekend shows a year, a lot of driving, setup, tear down, and motel rooms.
My photography business plan was: take, tweak, print, cut custom mat, make custom frame, frame and sell sunflower pictures that people will buy to hang in their kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and summer cabins. I offered multiple sizes at very reasonable prices.
I coded my html website, http://www.gearheaddreams.com, in 2002 offering sales via PayPal. I need to update my website to include new images from Italy, the Grand Canyon, the Superstition Mountains, and the Arizona desert.
I discovered Rob Trek about 6 months ago. Watching his tutorials, chats, and vlogs has re-ignited a desire to take pictures. Thank you Rob!
